Italian Red Brigades

The Italian Red Brigades was a far-left militant organization active primarily in Italy during the 1970s and early 1980s. It aimed to overthrow the Italian government and establish a revolutionary state through violent actions, including bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations. The group sought to challenge what it saw as oppression and capitalism, often targeting political figures, military personnel, and corporations. Their actions caused widespread fear and political instability, but they were ultimately defeated by law enforcement and public opposition. The Red Brigades remain a notable example of domestic terrorism driven by radical political ideologies.
